LÖVE has multi player... You can control player 1 with the keyboard and player 2 with the joystick, on the same computer :vamp:

But you meant multi player over the network, right? :megagrin:

There's a project called LUBE that handles networking. I haven't tried it myself. Probably its author (bartbes) will pop in on this post and leave a comment about it. He is a very helpful AI (when he's not dreaming with killing all humans).

There are two other projects that might handle this, but they seem quite dead, so I don't recommend them.
When I write def I mean function.

Yeah, but if I read it correctly they both use LUBE :P. Well, actually there's LuaSocket built into LÖVE, and LUBE is just a very nice game-ready wrapper for it. (I actually have to admit myself that I did a good job, and I'm not the self-promotion type)

ok that is awesome I think that settles my decision to start using Löve.

thx for the input so can i find this Lube you have created in the forums? or does can anyone tell me how to use the luasocket myself. such as how to setup ports and server vs client.
